Harper 6 Month Update

On Monday, August 13th, Harper had her 6 month check up.  I was so proud of my little pumpkin, she took the shots like a champ! She barely cried and smiled at me as soon as she was done.  She's so tough!

Height = 25.75 inches (43%)

Weight = 15lb 12.2 oz (43%)

Head Circumference = 43.3 cm (76%) 

I can't believe how big she is getting.  Her weight and height growth dropped a little over the last 2 months.  No concerns with her stats right now.  She's been a little under the weather so that could be a factor in her minimal weight gain along with her being more active.  

1. Harper is almost sitting up by herself.  On Monday, August 13th she sat up by herself and I was able to snap a few pictures.  

2. She is constantly reaching for everything.  When she sits on my lap at the dinner table she tries to grab my food.  When she sits in her high chair she will grab at her food which can result in a giant mess.  She will reach at things in front of her during tummy time.  

3. She will put EVERYTHING in her mouth.  She constantly is pulling her pacifier out and then putting it back in.  

4. She rolls all the time now.  Back to front and front to back.  She will roll if she wants to grab something out of her reach. 

5. She is in love with her puppy and loves to get kisses. 

6. She likes to put her thumb in her mouth but she doesn't suck on it.  

7. She has tried rice cereal, sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, and green beans. She likes sweet potatoes and squash the best.  

8. Harper has learned cause and effect and knows that if she cries we will pay attention to her.  She loves to be held and knows that will be the result.  When Mommy is making dinner Harper is usually in the baby bjorn so she can be close by and involved.  

9. Harper is trying to use her hands with her new transitional sippy cup.  

10. Harper wears size 2 diapers, size 3-6 month clothes, and uses the #3 flow nipple on her bottles.   

11. Harper is very cuddly.  We love to snuggle and give kisses.  

Watching her grow everyday is incredible.  We are so in love with baby Harper Rose!
